Wishing I could be there and scream "Swergin!" and "Chicago bookwriting cocksucker" at y'all. (linking fingers) Heng mai, forevah.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Hey, that Knut's a great guy. We ate hot Tex-Mex, drank cold margaritas, and caught a beer at my favorite local dive bar.

Fuck! When I saw him in Chicago we just saw Kelly Hogan and drank beer. There was no Tex Mex whatsoever.

See, that's one of the many differences between Chicago and Austin.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Anyone else finish/read Valley of Silence ?
If so, I *knew* they were gonna "Spike" Cian.

Art Crawl!!!
I just picked it up -- can you believe that when I went to get it on Halloween they hadn't unpacked the books yet??
Foiled in my Halloween treat!

Because books.
Must. Not. Read. Whitefont.
I'm *thisclose* to done with Morrigan's Cross and salivating to pick up Dance of the Gods, even though I am far more invested in Moira/Cian than Blair/Larkin (even with that sexy shapeshifting thing).
Hoyt got much sexier the further I got into Cross, I'll tell you that.

True. No Kelly Hogan in Austin.
How's your book coming, Corwood?
I think I just nailed down my intro. It involves the 1683 Battle of Vienna. (Not to be confused with the 1529 Siege of Vienna as popularized in Robert E. Howard's short story "Shadow of the Vulture." A story most famous for introducing the character Red Sonja, later added to the Conan continuity via the comics, and thence to the movies, thus starting Brigitte Nielsen's career and leading to wacky hijinks with Flavor Fav. This is all relevant since Brigitte was once married to Sylvester Stallone who gave Tom Waits his movie debut in Paradise Alley. You can see how it all ties together.)

My mom just borrowed my copy of Nora Roberts' Blue Dahlia (her trilogy before the current one), which reminded me that I haven't yet purchased the third one after Morrigan's Cross and Dance of the Gods (must stop by the bookstore after dropping Mom off at O'Hare tomorrow morning).
